Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/30/2016 -- With Memorial Day Weekend fast approaching, and the summer season beginning not long thereafter, the annual warm-weather spike in motorcycle accidents is set to begin. Rizio, Hamilton and Kane, P.C., the team of top notch Philly accident lawyers, are reminding cyclists to be especially careful, in light of the slew of crashes that will likely occur.

While accidents are on the decline, the latest reports by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that in 2014, the last year for which statistics were released, there were over 4,500 motorcycle fatalities. According to the same report, approximately 92,000 motorcyclists were injured in 2014, which increased by 4,000 people from the previous year. In 2013, motorcyclists were roughly 26 times more likely to die in a crash than those riding in other types of vehicles.

Southeastern Pennsylvanians and New Jersians are not exempt from those statistics, especially with the quantity of shore travel that occurs in those areas during the summer months. "While we hope that motorcyclists are taking as many safety precautions as possible, accidents still happen, and often times they're the fault of other drivers," said Alexandra Kane of Rizio, Hamilton and Kane, P.C. Her firm represents motorcyclists who need to take legal action in the event of accidents, and it has over 34 years of experience doing so.

Rizio, Hamilton and Kane, P.C., which also has a team of Philadelphia slip and fall lawyers, is encouraging motorcyclists to wear their helmets and take other safety precautions. Anyone who has recently been injured in a crash can schedule a consultation by visiting Rizio's website, or by dialing 855-822-6783.
